So Nifong is guilty of two counts of false and malicious prosecution. Why he isn’t in jail tells me that our “justice” system is broken.
I went to the site you referenced. it reinforces, not alters, the points I made above.
The store brought the facts about the cabbie to the prosecutor/police LONG BEFORE the Duke incident with the stripper. In fact, the Statute of Limitations is even alleged to have run out.
What Nifong edid was go back and find the stale/old allegations, unrelated in an way to the Duke stripper incident, and then brought these stale charges against the cabbie, in obvious retaliation for the cabbie assisting the accused student in exonerating himself.
So — my point — what did HECHTS do wrong here? They weren’t colluding or assisting Nifong’s wrongdoing.
Can you show me where Hechts has dirty hands in this?
His hearing is taking place right now on CourtTV. So maybe he will be soon. We can only hope.
No tears for Hecht's.
This is beyond belief! They tried to intimidate the cab driver by a false charge to get him to retract his witness statement?
IIRC the cab driver is a LEGAL immigrant and they threatened deportation.
Maybe someone from the DA’s office approached the security guard at the height of the rape situation and asked him to help revive the shoplifting charge. It’s obviously not out of the realm of something Nifong would do.
I still think he has a tough road ahead tying Hecht’s to this. The security guard seems to have done this, on his own accord, well after the shoplifting incident had been resolved in court. If he ammended his statement, and lied on the witness stand(which it appears he did), I don’t see how this is going to make Hecht’s liable. His employment does not matter if he perjured himself on the stand.
Oh you have GOT to be kidding me... Nifong is like the gift that keeps on giving...
Thanks for the ping!
Just found this news....

Thanks so much! I had no idea it was on. I just switched to CourtTV and it’s there, too.
Do you have any idea how long it will last? Darn, I have an appointment for a haircut and have to leave now. ARGH! Of all days...
Thanks again!
scheduled for 2 days
something funny is going on — a mike is open to a private conversation at
http://www.nbc17.com/midatlantic/ncn/news/live_video.html
it’s still on, even though they’ve been alerted — too funny — it’s the prosecutor talking to his assistant.
they know they were on, but don’t realize they’re still on
Sooner or later, someone will put him behind bars for a very long time.
This suit is all about getting a quick settlement. the department store will not want the publicity of a trial and will settle quickly. then if they want they can use the money to go after the county. Nifong is going to cost Durham county millions before this is all over.
and was negligent in that they hired a dirt bag security guard who apparently had no one over seeing his corrupt actions. The fact he no longer works for them suggests he may have been fired over this. They are liable, just not as liable as Nifong and Wilson and their own dirty security guard.
